Description
This is a VERY NICE(VG+) copy of this desirable BLUE NOTE album,"No Room For Squares", New York label # 4149, by Saxophonist Hank Mobley, from the early 1960s, featuring the two Giants of Hard Bop trumpet, Donald Byrd and Lee Morgan, as well as pianists Herbie Hancock and Andrew Hill, John Ore and Butch Warren, bass; and drummer Philly Joe Jones.
This LP was released in the early 60s, and this is this first pressing. It features the well known Blue and White label, with the recessed center. it is a heavy vinyl pressing, not a later Liberty or United Artists 80s pressing as seen often on E-Bay. This LP was never issued as a "deep-groove", so this is considered the best and most sought after pressing of this classic Jazz LP.
This LP is in Excellent condition, with virtually flawless playing surfaces, no marks or scratches.The cover is in VG/VG+ condition,with solid spine and upper and lower seams intact, and normal shelf wear. There is a small staple mark on the upper left corner, barely noticeable. There is a very slight seam-split (apx 1 inch) on bottom right corner. This is easily repairable, but I have left it alone, for the buyer to fix as he or she prefers. As you know, invisible scotch tape is the easiest fix, but this should be the choice of the buyer, as it technically de-values the LP. The classic cover image, by Francis Wolff, and the distinctive graphics, are sharp and clear.
I am a Jazz Pianist and Recording Artist, and have been collecting Rare Jazz LPs for many years. This is one from my personal collection. I assure you, all the LPs I will be offering here have been meticulously taken care of, and only played rarely, on a Sota Sapphire Turntable, with a Grado Reference Cartridge. They have been kept inside a temperature controlled room in my home, in plastic dust jackets. In other words, you can bid in confidence, knowing these LPs come from someone who has loved them and babied them. I reluctantly am beginning to sell some of my LPs, and hope they go to someone who will love them as I have.
All LPs will be carefully packed in proper LP boxes, well protected,and sent USPS Media Rate, unless specifically needed sooner. We can send priority mail if desired. Shipping costs are always based on your location. I do not add "handling"fees, costs will be exactly as I am charged by the shipper of choice. LPs can also be sent Fed-Ex ground, if preferred, although this can be a bit more expensive. Good Luck!
